Song of the Day – ‘Nice and Slow’

  I’ve fed my libido, let’s wrap this week up by giving the ladies a little something. Yeah this one takes me back to the early clubbing days.  Walking into a spot with my crew.  Rocking a crisp pair of blue jeans and a leather vest.  And I’m not really that big of a… What? […]

SAG Foundation Poker Classic 2013

Since they were nice enough to add my pretty face to the promotional materials, let’s pay it back forward…. Next weekend, the SAG Foundation hosts its annual Poker Classic.  The proceeds benefit the Don LaFontaine Voice Over Lab which I can tell you from first hand experience is an invaluable resource for actors learning and […]

Song of the Day – ‘If’

  Yesterday we gave Britney her due, so today let’s pay tribute to one of (if not the main) pop star before her who had it. Looking back now, this video is still something.  Seemingly every girl I knew had this dance routine memorized at some point.  And as far as the guys go…well, I […]

Song of the Day – ‘I’m a Slave 4 U’

  There was an episode of Family Guy where Meg becomes the new teen pop sensation.  Anyway, I’m paraphrasing here, but there’s a point where the Dr. Dre-ish producer is explaining ‘the Business’, and he says ‘There is nothing America likes more, than white jailbait ass!’ So, with that introduction…  

Song of the Day – ‘Suit & Tie’

  Came out of my first network call back a little while ago.  Had my full ‘TV Star’ confidence going, nailed the scene in one take…and now we move on.  Not always possible and not everyone’s method, but it’s just the reality: even when you’re getting some ‘yes’s like I do, it’s still 98 percent […]

Song of the Day – ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’

  One more day of ‘laziness’ from me here as I attend to personal matters. At this point, I’m fairly confident the bass voiced backup singer who shows up is not one of my jheri curled uncles. But it was the 80s man, so that’s ‘fairly’, not completely…

My First Acting Idol…

  My body and soul are running at full capacity at the moment, so today is a little bit of a cheat post. My annual appreciation of the first brother I saw on screen who made me say, ‘That was AWESOME!!!!!’ I’m fairly confident you’ll know him when you see him…

Ramadan 2013 – ‘Apostle’

  A few years back, I went to those closest to me and described my endgame in a few simple words (a pitch, basically).  In the relatively short amount of time since then, I’ve knocked out several smaller tasks that all feed back into that larger, singular purpose: Getting my passport. Kicking my Arabic studies […]
